Abstract:

Stock market research is essential to good financial and investment decision making. It will be able to determine the market price and trading volume for the stock, high and low price for the stock over different periods and the earnings for the company. To ascertain the right choice of a security or portfolio to an investor, it depends on the level of risk that the stock carries. An estimation of the riskreturn profile of a security or portfolio is an important aspect in investment management. The stock market research will allow one to assess the possible risk of a stock against the possible rewards the stock may offer. The present study in this context is relevant in explaining the parity between risk and return in the Indian equity market. It will definitely help the stakeholders to take appropriate decision regarding the time of investment, horizon of investment, quantum of investment and even portfolio selection.

Keywords:

Risk and return, portfolio decisions, volatility of share prices.
